Once a young man asked Socrates how he could gain wisdom, Socrates took the young man on a walk to a nearby lake, once there Socrates got the young man to walk into the lake until it was up to about knee height, unexpectedly Socrates grabbed the head of the young man and forced his head under the water holding it there. The young man at first thought it was a test and did not retaliate, but time was ticking and he was under the water for a long time, to a point where survival instinct crept in and made him frantic as he fought desperately to free himself from the lack of oxygen, causing a burning sensation in his lungs. Socrates, once letting him go, said "When you desire wisdom with the same intensity that you desire to breathe, then nothing will stop you from getting it." If you want it you will get it, providing the intensity is there, unfortunately in most golfers this is not the case.

Neutral Spine Theory
Golf Posture with Neutral Spine Theory in mind.
Most take neutral spine to extreme limits mummifying the body through exercises such as planks and similar exercises, this creates rigidity.
Neutral Spine ranges must be determined on a personal basis and is utilised on ones own available range of motion.
Neutral is deemed as somewhere between two ranges of motion, and thus utilised in the golf swing as the operating zone between extreme anterior and posterior pelvic tilt.
Training golfers with neutral spine is key to ensuring this becomes a part and parcel of our static posture and golfs dynamic posture during the swing.
Do not for one minute fall into the illusion that you will maintain a neutral spine throughout you golf swing naturally, because your body will always move towards a position of strength and away from weakness hence why we see the C posture occurring in the golf motion as the body moves from neutral towards the feral position a very safe place we all know from birth, this is hardwired through, every day sitting syndrome and poor core conditioning techniques such as crunching from the floor.
Correct exercises must be employed allowing one to build strength in the neutral operating zone thus allowing the golfer enough strength to maintain this position through the whole swing. Correct stretching routines targeting tonic muscle groups and correct core training procedures are a must.
